  There are situations when there is a need for performing consistency
  checks for LDP binding state (address/label bindings) exchanged
  between LDP speakers. For instance, a state refresh may be required
  to detect and purge stale bindings received by an LDP speaker, which
  have resulted from an in-service software upgrade. This document
  specifies mechanics that allow a sender LDP speaker to enclose the
  initial binding advertisements (or re-advertisements) between
  explicit START and END of binding markers, thus helping the
  receiving LDP speaker to detect and purge any extra/stale binding
  state previously learnt from the sender. In addition to the
  definition of new LDP Notification message status codes for bindings
  refresh, this document also extends LDP base specification by
  introducing the concept of &quot;Wildcard Address&quot; and a new &quot;Wildcard
  Address Request&quot; message.
